how about relining the barrel... not sure if you have enough meat there, but barrel liners can be had reasonably priced... I have a couple rifles I've done this to...

otherwise it may be possible to find a "factory replacement barrel" I have have seen them from time to time at places like Sportsman's Guide, or Cheaper Than Dirt...

or you could remove the barrel, & buy a barrel blank, & make a new one to re-barrel it with...

if you were re-barreling it, or re-lining it for that matter, you could re-chamber it for something you wouldn't have to worry about future owners shooting too hot of ammo ( they could be your kids, future kids, or other relative ??? ) mine is chambered in 7 X 57, & I did rebarrel, & it is now a tack driver
